I use all three: flip through the pages online, then download the whole issue to have the electronic copy, then get the printed annual, which I read through again.

I searched here for references to the Stilltime Collection, but did not find any, hope this hasn't been covered in the past.  Here is a link to a few pictures that are actually tagged as "Cobra".  There may be more, try browsing their Racing collection.

1969-1970 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Shelby cars and coffee Las Vegas

Nice.  When you no longer need that CA plate, it is worth money, if you have the pair.  Even without the old sticker now showing, it is worth money to car owners in CA, as a candidate to be retro-fitted, but with the sticker, for someone with that year of car, that will save them from having to buy the year sticker separately.

I love watching Adam-12, to see if I can tell where outside shots were filmed. There is an episode named “Venice Division” which features a scene shot inside what is currently the bar/burger place called “The Shack”, right across the street from the Harbor Room, where Carroll used to go.

I love the black California plate with the stickers peeled back to 1969. My '67 GT500 is an original black plate California car that still had them on it when I bought it in 1982. I peeled the stickers back to '67. There was a '67 Corvette at Cars and Coffee on Eastern Avenue that also had black plates peeled back to 1967. Pretty cool to see.
Are you talking about display only plates, or plates that the car is actually registered on?

Cars from the 60’s that have been continuously registered in CA since the 60’s, would have black plates with a current year sticker, and no other year sticker. But CA has a program that allows retro-fitting the black plates onto 63-69/70 cars, and those would have two year stickers, one for the model year of the car, plus the current year.  It normally would not be legal to have a CA black 60’s style plate with only the old year visible. My discussion excludes the new style black CA legacy plates.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: 67 GT350 ad

That Yamaha ad is neat.

They did a couple with '67s Shelby's and at least one with a '66 Shelby
There are some with Cobras's...They must have had a CS / SAI connection.

A Donald Osborne style tenuous connection - Bill Krause later had a motorcycle dealership on La Brea in Inglewood CA that sold Yamahas.

Had a chance to stop and take some pics of the Isky building on Slauson, in Culver City.

Granatelli’s Gryonaut?  What involvement did Granatelli have with the Gryonaut?

It’s a shame that the GT40 J-10 has such tacky looking tires, the way they left the Hoosier markings on, and added a blue stripe and Goodyear letters. They should have had Bella (at CSX2259’s shop) do it.

His old Culver City shop on Jefferson Blvd right next to the 405 freeway was still there the last time I was in CC, earlier this year. You can still see the 1950's-era "Iskenderian Cams" name on the outside. I'm astonished it's still there.

I go by it all the time, and admire the name.  They painted the building some years back, but painted around the lettering.

When I talked to Isky at Bonneville ten or so years ago, and asked him about that building, he said it was the first property he ever bought for the business.

I can’t make out many details on my phone, but if the Mustang is turning from Sunset Bl onto North Pacific Coast Highway, that would’ve been Jack’s at the Beach restaurant for a couple of decades  before it became a Charthouse and/or some high end fish place.
If it is Sunset and PCH, the restaurant is now Gladstones.
